wreths are the best bit of christmas imo. Mine goes out xmas eve and usually come back in after boxing day. I have yet to make my own though i tend to stick with my brought one with a snowman sat in the middle.

Hi there

I'm reviving an old thread to ask whether anyone has an easy-ish method for making a christmas wreath. I feel like having a go at making my own, but it's not something I've done before and would appreciate any hints or tips that you might have. Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere.

Many thanks

A wreath that I have been tempted to try is a rag wreath, you can see an example of how to make one here:

You basically take a sturdy ring (cut from cardboard, made from wire, embroidery hoop for example) and tie strips of fabric to it, simple but very effective.

That's really interesting. And the plus with this of course is you can re-use it I guess you could still add things like seed pods or pine cones to this and it would look natural and last a long time too.
